If you only need to reinstall because when you try to start the FSX it tells you need to reactivate then RadarMan's fix works. Unfortunately for me, before I saw this I had attempted to uninstall, got the old 1722 error and then when I applied Radarman's fix it looked like my attempts at uninstalling/re-installing had corrupted some of files and so FSX wouldn't work even though it no longer prompted me to reactivate

Microsoft have said that the 1722 fix may not be released (officially) for another week. If your only problem is that you are being told to reactivate then you should go with RadarMan's fix. In my opinion, provided you paid for FSX then it's clearly not a hack and it works.

If you want to use the 1722 fix then make sure that you run the code before you do the reinstall. Also, in my case, I didn’t uninstall and then re-install; I just put the disc in the PC and chose “repair”

Thanks to Radar Man I'm able to play FS X today. I waited 3 hours on hold for MS help using their 1800 #. MS offered a patch that did not work. They hung up on me later.

Reading Radar Man's suggestions I was able to overcome the issues.

I want to say thank you Man for offering a solution not expecting anything in return. That's true help !!! Keep up the good work !!!

Look at this interesting finding:

My friend and I bought fsx deluxe at the same time, same store. I installed mine and, as you know, got the 1722 error that thanks to Radar Man I was able to overcome. My friend istalled his and got no problem and it's been running smooth since. I brought his DVD's and tried to install them in my system. Guess what, I got the 1722 error again using the same DVDs he used to install his. Note: he used his own key, and I was intended to use my own if it didn't give the 1722 error. So this doesn't seem to be a key related issue.

To add another spin to the already strange situation, my game dissapears every other day from the fsx directory and I need to re-install it all the time using Radar man's solution. Because I though that was annoying, I asked my friend to let me use his copies with the results described above.

Any Help?

What do you mean that it dissapears.

I mean, the folder is still there but empty. So the fsx icon in my desktop becomes a dummy isntead of the fsx functional (double click) graphic icon.

Thanks,

How about the other issue of installing my friend's copy in my system but using my own key knowing that his DVD's worked fine in his computer without error 1722. Any suggestions on the root cause.

Thanks,

You have a problem on your machine that causing that error.
It doesn't matter what DVD's you use the problem lies in your computer "thankful fsx user" not in the program ( stolen from Shakespeare).

You have to find the cause of it, a program that you are running that no one else is using that has successfully loaded theirs.
Another game, an app or possibly something is missing from your system.

I think I found my problem. It's called MS .NET FRAMEWORK 2.0 SET UP.
This application was installed in my computer while I was looking for a solution for error 1722 in MS website. It was a requisite to access the Support area I think. I'm not sure what 'framework set up' does but it seems to have something to do with the vanishing of the fsx files because while I unistalled 'framework' it showed me a message of "Rolling Back" so I open the fsx folder and saw the files disappear. So I guess 'framework' was the one playing the "joke" on me.

I will test the changes in the next few days, but does all this make sense to anybody.

Thanks.

I've also had problems installing flight simulator. I have contacted the helpline and they say their working on the problem as thousands of people have been having the same issues with it. I have just taken the game back and i'm going to try again with a new one in about a months time. It sounds as though their is a bug on the software. Laughing

Hope this helps
